Since
there will be TWO 11:11 Gate Activations in 2004, this makes the dedication
and focus of our 11:11 Anchor Groups more important than ever before.

11:11 Anchor
Groups are essential to a successful 11:11 Activation. Without your
participation, the Gateways within the Doorway of the 11:11 could not
be opened. The 11:11 Gates are activated through an alignment into One
Being of the Master Cylinder Group in Ireland with the various Anchor
Groups worldwide. The
6th Anchor Groups serve a very vital purpose as the anchoring pegs for
the entire Master Cylinder.

As the
Master Cylinder and the 6th Gate Anchor Groups form One Being, they
make it possible for the new 6th Gate energies to enter the planet and
spread all over the world. 11:11
Anchor Groups serve as vital anchoring points for the new 6th Gate energies.
They work in close alignment with the 6th Gate Master Cylinder in Ireland.

First, the Master
Cylinder brings the 6th Gate energies into the planet and anchors them
into the earth. Next, a direct infusion of the 6th Gate energies are
sent to the 11:11 Anchor Groups throughout the world where these energies
are anchored and dispersed around the world.

Being part of an
11:11 Anchor Group is a powerful transformational experience. It is
unforgettable and a great way of serving to anchor the Greater Reality.
We urge you all to participate in some way during this momentous event.

ORGANIZING
A 6TH GATE ANCHOR GROUP

Organizing a 6th
Gate Anchor Group in your area is quite easy. An 11:11 Anchor Group
can be composed of as few as two people. Here are some easy steps to
organize an Anchor Group:

PUBLICIZING
YOUR ANCHOR GROUP:

Once you choose
to become an 11:11 Anchor, you can start by putting some notices up
around the area where you live mentioning that you are organizing an
Anchor Group for the 6th Gate Activation of the 11:11. You can contact
any friends or acquaintances whom you think might be interested in participating.

It's also important
to let us know about your Anchor Group as soon as possible so we can
put you on the Anchor Lists on this website.Having
your group on the Anchor List is very important because it's read out
loud at the Master Cylinder and Anchor Groups so we can consciously
align into One Being.

PUBLIC
OR PRIVATE GROUP?

Some 11:11 Anchor
Groups are private which means that they are not open to the public.
This is usually done when there is an already existing group who have
worked together for some time. By keeping their group private, they
can hold to their focus and serve more effectively. The nice thing about
public groups is that anyone can join; although they do often require
more preparation.

PREPARATORY
MEETINGS?

The next thing to
decide is whether you are going to have any preparatory meetings before
the 6th Gate Activation on May 29th. They are already some Anchor Groups
who have begun meeting once a week. The advantage of this is that the
participants will be more bonded and have time to practice the Sacred
Dances. They can also plan their Activation Ceremony together. But of
course, this requires a bit more dedication and commitment. Or you could
have a core group come together for a few weeks prior to the Activation.

YOUR
6TH GATE ACTIVATION SITE

Next, you need
to find the right place for your 6th Gate Activation Ceremony. This
can be either inside or outside. You can do it within a building, out
in nature, a private home, in a park or at a sacred site near where
you live. The choice is entirely up to you. Often, the perfect location
not only calls to you, but makes itself available. Find a really special
place.

One thing that we
do at the Master Cylinders, which are always held outside, is be prepared
for any kind of weather. Even if it's expected to be sunny, we have
a tarp ready for our sound equipment. And we are committed to completing
our Activation Ceremony in whatever type of weather we are given. (Luckily,
we have always had fairly good weather.)

CREATING
A SACRED SPACE

Wherever you hold
your Anchor Group, you will need to create a Sacred Space. You can do
this by cleansing, purifying, recalibrating and decorating.

If you plan to be
outside, you can begin by cleaning up the area. (At the Second Gate
Master Cylinder in Ecuador, we began our ceremony by cleaning up the
cow dung from the field where we held our Activation. We did this in
the most elegant, loving way possible and it actually added a lot to
our ceremony.)

You might want to
make a large circle with rocks on the ground and hold your ceremony
within it. Or you might want to make a circle out of candles or bamboo
torches. Do whatever feels right to you to create your Sacred Space.
Talk to the land and explain what is about to happen. Ask for its permission
and blessings.

If you are holding
your ceremony inside a building, you will first want to clear the space
of any unnecessary clutter. Make it as clean and empty as possible.
Smudge the space and bring in the four elements and some candles. You
might want to put flowers there or add some things of beauty such as
bright colors or sprinkles of glitter. Do whatever feels right to you.
Make it a beautiful, positive, inspiring, fresh Sacred Space.

You might want to
create a rest area in a quiet place and ask participants to bring a
blanket and pillow for short rests. Or bring chairs for those who are
uncomfortable standing or sitting on the ground for long periods. That's
all right as long as some of you keep the ceremony going.

(During the Master
Cylinder in Egypt of the original 11:11 Activation in 1992, our ceremony
went for 38 straight hours: 2 nights and 1 1/2 days. There were times
when we just couldn't go on, so we would take turns lying down in the
sand and falling asleep for an hour or two, when we would awaken and
leap up and rejoin the always in progress ceremony.)

THE
HOURS OF YOUR 6TH GATE ACTIVATION

You need to decide
on the hours of your 6th Gate Ceremony. Always, the strongest choice
will be to have your Ceremony during the same hours that the Master
Cylinder is doing their Activation. For 6th Gate, that will be between
8:00 am - 4:00 pm in Ireland's time zone. If your group is in another
part of the world and you don't want to make the commitment to stay
up all night to align with the Master Cylinder, that's alright. Just
remain focused on the Master Cylinder throughout the time of their Activation.

IF
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ANCHOR GROUP IN YOUR AREA

Sometimes, there
will be more than one Anchor Group in an area. When this happens, the
Anchor Groups can either choose to combine their groups or continue
to hold their own unique focus. We are all part of our One Being whether
we align together in large or small groups.

ORGANIZE
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO THE 6TH GATE ACTIVATION

WHITE CLOTHES:
Everyone will need to find some white clothes to wear, since we always
wear white for our 11:11 Activations. White symbolizes the purity of
our One Being and brings us into a heightened sense of Oneness. You
can also wear some bright colors such as scarves with your whites.

MUSIC:
You will need something to play music for the Sacred Dances. You can
also have live musicians playing.

BRIGHTLY COLORED
SARONGS OR PAREOS OR SCARVES:
Ask everyone to bring a selection of brightly colored sarongs, pareos
& scarves for the Dance of the 6 Elements. If you are meeting before
the Activation, you can get this sorted out earlier. If not, you need
to have enough cloth on hand for each dancer. See Anchor Group Directory for a description of this Dance.

FOOD & WATER:
Food isn't necessary, but it sure is nice! If you are going to have
a very short Activation, for around 2-3 hours, you won't have time for
food. But if you're going to match the hours of the Master Cylinder,
food will help. Potluck works well. You also need to have lots of water
on hand or remind people to bring some.

Please
remind everyone to hold the focus of 6th Gate while they are eating.
Just because we're eating, doesn't mean it's time to slip into social
chit-chat mode. At that exact moment, something incredible could be
taking place at the Master Cylinder. They might really need your support
or be sending some amazing energy your way. It's important to remain
fully conscious at all times.

STUFF TO SET THE
MOOD & DECORATE THE SITE:
Candles, flowers and the like. Wherever you are, create a beautiful,
clean space.

LARGE MAP OF THE
WORLD:Of course, if you're a tiny Anchor
Group you won't need such a large map, or maybe you don't need a map
at all. We always have a large world map at the Master Cylinders. With
the latest printout of Anchor Groups, the Master List of Anchor Groups, (see: Anchor Group Directory for the Master List of the actual Gate.) we
put bright stickers on the location of each group. It's a very effective
visual to align us with all the Anchor Groups.

READ & PRINT OUT THE 6TH GATE & 11:11 INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE

First, you
can begin by reading the 6th Gate information on this website. You can
print it out and share it with your group. The best place to start is
the 6th Gate Ndex which
lists all related 6th Gate material.

Items of particular
interest are the Vision of 6th
Gate, instructions for the Sacred
Dances and the Master
List of the Anchor Groups worldwide (see: Anchor Group Directory for the Master List of the actual Gate.) . It would also be helpful
to familiarize yourself with the general information on the Doorway
of the 11:11, including the keynotes of each prior Gate. Thus, you
can get a feeling for the natural progression of these energies.

You could also read
"How to Live Large on a Small Planet" by Solara and
do some of the practices within it, especially the One Heart, the GO
and the One Eye which can be incorporated into your Group's ceremony.

Instructions
for two of our Sacred Dances are on this website. (If I have time
before going to Ireland, I will also put the Lotus Dance Instructions
on the website.) You can teach these dances at the Activation itself,
or better yet, in some preparatory meetings.The
Starry Processional
The Starry Processional is the only Sacred Dance which has been performed
at every one of the 11:11 Activations. It is powerful and deep and highly
recommended. The
Earth-Star DanceThe
Earth-Star Dance is very worthwhile to do if you have a focused group.
You can order the music for our Sacred
Dances Now available on CD or cassette!
All the dance music is very good to set the resonance and stay in the
11:11 energies. (It's important to order these as soon as possible,
since after May 14th, no-one will be available to mail your orders.)

This
simple practice is so helpful for getting your group in alignment with
the One and keeping them there. You might want to incorporate it at
the beginning of your ceremony and when needed. Whenever you feel the
energy starting to waver, it's a good time to bring out the GO. Or if
you have people in your group who aren't grounded, take them aside and
have them do the GO.

IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, SEND SOMEONE FROM YOUR ANCHOR GROUP
TO THE MASTER CYLINDER.

This
is one of the absolutely strongest ways to have a super connected Anchor
Group. Always, these Anchor Groups which have a participant at the Master
Cylinder are so powerfully connected to us. It really enhances the direct
line between us. And for the next Activation, that person can share
with your Group some of the things done at the Master Cylinder.
